Server Option trace functions allow you to do three types of tracing:
API tracing, which traces Server Option calls
Tabular Data Stream™ (TDS) header tracing
TDS data tracing
You can enable and disable any kind of transaction tracing globally or specifically, using these Server Option functions:
TDSETLOG – to turn tracing on or off and, in CICS, to change the name of the trace log
TDINFLOG – to determine whether tracing is enabled and, in CICS, to name the trace log
TDSETSPT, TDLSTSPT, and TDINFSPT – to enable, disable, and retrieve information about specific tracing
TDWRTLOG – to write your own record or add a system entry to the trace log file
For complete descriptions and examples of these functions, see the Mainframe Connect Server Option Programmers Reference for the appropriate language. PL/1 and COBOL versions of this guide are available.
